The new Petronas Yamaha MotoGP team means the Sepang team will be competing in all three grand prix 🌳classes in 2019.

But it is another ne🍌w project that, on paper, has the best chance of resulting in the team's firs🌜t FIM world (cup) title.

Sepang has secured the ser🦋vices of Bradley Smith for the debut season of the electric MotoE World Cup, which will support MotoGP at five eve✃nts this year, beginning with Jerez on May 5th.

The Englishman - who has 25 grand prix podiums to his credit across 125, Moto2 and MotoGP - is fired up to impress in MotoE and Aprilia test riding as he seeks a⛎ return to the premier-class in 2020.

Smith and Sepang's new 'One Energy Racing' team made a perfect start to the new electric era by being 16🐼8澳洲5最新开奖结果:quickest during the debut MotoE test at Jerez in November.

"Of course!" Sepang CEO Razlan Razali told wuqian0821.com, when asked if Smit🦋h was their best chance of a championship title in 2019.

"In any championship we are not there just to make up the numbers. We actually had the right to have two MotoE bikes, but sometimes we hav🌄e to be realistic and not take everything.

"So we gave one slot up. Because if we are going to do it, we are doing 🅷it to win.

"Then Bradley came i♌nto the pict♚ure and we were negotiating with him alongside other teams as well. So we were delighted he decided to come with us."

In addition to Smith in MotoE, Sepang will run Franco Morbidelli and Fabio Quartararo in MotoGP - whom Razali hopes will challenge f💜or top independent anﷺd top rookie respectively - pꦕlus Khairul Idham Pawi on Kalex machinery in Mot꧅o2.

John McPhee jo𒀰ins Ayumu Sasaki on Hondas in Moto3, with Adam Norrodin moving to the Sepang Junior team in CEV. Sepang will also have a presence in the European Talent Cup.

"We're everywhere!" Razali said. "We have a strong development programme in place. But after the succe♍ss of the Malaysian MotoGP the Government has seen that MotoGP is very important, hence a lot of focus in terms 💧of development programmes.

"The budget was approved by the government towards th♍e development of two-wheel ri🌊ders. So the support from the government is there, which is very important because although we now have this structure in place for Moto3, Moto2 and MotoGP we also need the talent to fill up those positions for the future.

"So that's what we are doing."
